This seems to be the NPC's ID for when it dies and/or turns into a normal golden elite.Not comfirmed but Im using this id aswell as 50062 to track Aeonaxx.

Comment by casedistorted

This has very accurate info about one of the spawning locations of Aeonaxx, sorry about the length but it is very thorough and I guarantee it will be helpful. I will also be posting this on the other pages that contain information about this rarespawn/mount to make sure people get as accurate of info about this npc as possible.

Who: Hrethgir of Demon Soul-US <Horde> What: AeonaxxWhen: Approximately 11:45pm server time (more or less) on Wednesday the 15th of December.Where: Deepholm-coordinates 46,57 (above the goblin shaman quest giver) flying at a height that's at the top of the large pillars sitting next to the Stonecore entrance.How: It's only been a few weeks out of Cataclysm Launch and there are a lot of long comments on wowhead that have already gotten high ratings and became green but what I'm posting could debunk a bit of their information.

I was essentially competing against 3 other people in Deepholm for this rare spawn since it had been last sighted on our server (which happened to be on Monday the 13th Dec at 3pm our server time, alliance got it >:O). I gathered that these other campers I was competing with read about how most people ended up spotting this npc above the Quartzite Basin just outside the entrance of Stonecore, but I gathered from this video link here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rCEfbgh0Z8that it looked like it was flying a great deal higher than most people I knew thought and so decided to go for a different spot to camp. Well since Monday afternoon I began my hunt only I decided to wait at the coordinates 46,57 (you can tell your in the right spot because you will be exactly above the goblin quest giver, the exclamation point on your minimap) and fly a great deal higher than everyone else. It was by pure luck that all 3 of my rare spawn addons went off (overkill i know but i was using NPCscan, Esn_rare my fav, and silverdragon), damn near giving me a heart attack and showing AEONAXX in big letters on all of the macro buttons that popped up. I managed to right click it and mount on it's back just before my guild mate got to it and went for a very wild ride which I will describe in a moment.

Believe me when I say that this npc spawns very high up in the air, you know you are at the right height if you look over towards the Stonecare instance entrance and you see two sets of blue pillars...the height you want to be flying at is eye-level with the smaller set of pillars that look like they are sortof resting on top of the larger set (the larger set sit next to the meeting stone and the portal). This height and these coordinates are exactly where Aeonaxx spawned and I was very lucky to be sitting literally right next to it as it faded into my view.

Okay, now onto the fight. My character was a level 84 orc warrior in full T10 4set bonus dps gear with some cataclysm blues here and there, Fury spec. I had about 74k hp while the npc had about 750k hp. I jumped on it's back immediately after it spawned and of course after reading everyones posts on Wowhead was very nervous and did not know if I was going to survive. Let me say that this is not an easy fight for a dps that cannot heal. I managed to get the right angle to melee dps rather quickly but even with that edge I felt I had, Aeonaxx took me for a ride, doing circles around the temple of earth (or so my guildmates said as I was so concentrated on my action bar at the time) and spawning whelps constantly. I honestly couldn't tell how many whelps aeonaxx spawned because of the angle I had to face to be able to melee but they actually ended up draining my health pool rather quickly. I did not think I was going to survive that fight and started to freak out thinking I would die and have the npc despawn after spending 3 days camping it but I got smart, pulled into defensive stance and basically played wack-a-mole with bloodthirst and heroic strike (the only two abilities I was able to generate enough rage with to use on a consistent basis) Luckily the healing from bloodthirst and my one enraged regeneration I was able to get off helped me to live long enough to dps 750k hp down. I ended up having about 30k hp left by the time I made the killing blow.

The body ended up if I remember correctly at coordinates 43,46 exactly. It isn't skinnable or anything and sticks around for about 20-30 minutes so if you have some smart ass on your server saying that they've killed Aeonaxx, make sure that you see the body before you give up your search. Also make sure to check out that youtube link because that really gave me a good idea of it's actual height and where it's flight path is (I personally can't say much about the flight path though considering I tagged/jumped on it literally seconds after it spawned)

All in all I hope this information was helpful and I do apologize for going on for what seems like forever but considering how long it took after Wrath for there to be accurate info about the Time-Lost Proto Drake, I wanted everyone who was interested in this mount as much as I was to be able to get it if they truly want. Remember that the spawn time is almost completely random so try not to believe it when people say that something like this mob has a 6 or 16 hour or even 1 week respawn timer. Just remember to check back every once in awhile in Deepholm and eventually you will nab it! =) Happy hunting everyone!

P.S. Be sure to be nice to your fellow campers from time to time, you never know when they might get a mount you want and have all the information there is about it when there is almost none out there :O

EDIT: http://s260.photobucket.com/albums/ii1/casedistorted/Aeonaxx/link to a photo album archiving the events that were described. The 3rd and 4th pictures are where I was actually camping when he set off everyones npcscan addon and literally faded into view, so this is about the height he was flying at.

Comment by VelorienBWR

This has been confirmed as the id for Aeonaxx when he is engaged in battle.

Comment by thanda

can anyone tell me how much health the young stone drakes have?

Comment by Acook94

Ok so I've been camping on KIlrogg-US since 3pm est Dec 22 it is now 4:40 pm Dec 23 still no sign of Aeonaxx. I'm running Npcscan I'm currently running two id's 50062 and 51236. I've been sitting at 46,57 and at the floating rock a little east of stonecore at about the height of stonecore. Last I heard was that she spawned at about 12:50pm server time on Dec 21 if she does spawn I'll try and figure out where and when and how long it took her to spawn from the last time.

Comment by Koast2Koast

Today 12/23 i camped in deepholm for 10 hours straight with no afk and am yet to see aeonaxx spawn. i am about to log on and wait some more but i am unsure about what people are saying about spawn times. is there any confirmation on the spawn times yet?

Long boring farm, but there is hope, I know it. aeonaxx.blogspot.com I found alot of information on there.

Comment by ghostcrawls

Thanks for this post.that site you posted was awesome. I have been looking for info on that link thing, and this is the first site that had an explanation! Haha good luck farming

Comment by Rabitti

Big thanks to casedistorted, your instructions were 100% accurate. I went to camp in the coordinates you gave, and it spawned right next to me. Young Stone Drakes had 7749 hp and didn't do much damage (lvl 85 orc warlock, itemlvl 345 pvp)

It spawned at 00:54 Stormreaver server time. (31.12.2010)

Comment by frostborn123

Has anyone found an accurate flight path for Aeonaxx?

Comment by Nejsemkunda

found on coordinates on minimap directly...hes static till you jump on him. so i think he got no fly path ..killed easy as shadow priest. You really need found character position to target him when you sitting on him..i found way turn to his back and i was abble to dps him. in normal sitting position face to his head hes untargetable or better say ,, target is not on your side ,, actually green post up here is correct about highenest hes fly etc. Happy hunting

Comment by cpar1977

Hi,

Got mine the other day on Kul Tiras server. Logged in whilst flying directly opposite The Stonecore entrance at 7:15am and he spawned in front off me.

Once mounted I could only use melee attacks whilst facing his tail and it seemed I could only target him whilst facing his head. As a ranged whelps were easy to deal with as they have very little health but took me 15 minutes to burn down is 700k HP.

Easy fight.

Good luck!

Comment by Deafbeats

Does anyone know if hunters will be able to shoot at him? I'm really concerned that i'll be camping for days and I'll just be auto attacking :(

Hey fellas. 5 days of camping and i FINALLY was able to witness this encounter in real time. I've watch Aeonaxx spawn directly in front of me at "46,57" eye lvl of the Plateau of the Stone Core entrance. No one else was around so I decided to follow it around for a while. I can verify that IT DOES fly clock wise around the Temple of Earth and doesn't seem to veer off in any direction JUST in a 360 degree pattern. He also doesn't fly up and down, he stays at the same height the whole way around the structure. It got to the point where I was Almost back to where I saw him till I saw an alliance chilling right were I was camping and may I say this. I didn't think TWICE about hopping on his back quicker then hell!

Now like every one else was saying He has the silver dragon around is avatar portrait and Is FRIENDLY until you hop on his back. This is where it starts get interesting!His dragon around his portrait next to his health bar goes from silver to gold. As well takes you on an awesome fight around deepholm. Aeonaxx Has a health pool of 750k health. I noticed at first I COULD NOT ATTACK HIM while looking at his head. I had to turn around facing his tail to do the damage. There are 2 whelps he calls to his aid every now and then.. Each one has a health pool of about 7749 hp if i remember correctly which can be dps down with ease. I found it to be a RINSE AND REPEAT from Dpsing Aeonaxx down, then dpsing the whelps down until finally Aeonaxx is dead. When defeated he will fall to the ground and you will be mounted saftly falling down to the ground on a parachute! I found it quite funny that there were alliance waiting for me at the bottom near his body so i decided to partake in that as well with a fear and a bad ass mount in my bag =]

In conclusion, I did not have any difficulties with the encounter at all. I do however think this fight is bugged, as far as doing all dps while facing his tail which I am sure Blizzard will fix shortly in time. This was deff an awesome event to witness in Cataclysm. Lastly rest assured this fight is NOTHING like TLPD at Stormpeak's In Northrend. As far as i know Aeonaxx and Xariona, which is yet ANOTHER rare spawn that has 30 Mil health and flys along the broken path way at the very top of the pillar DO NOT share a spawn timer as far as I know of right now. Weather or not this is true, it is still too early in the expansion to find out for sure. I hope this information brings you yet another step closer in encountering this fight on you're own gaming pc, or lap top, what have you.... Any further questions feel free to ask me! Good hunting!

Didn't you take some different screenshots when he was flying around the temple?

Comment by Tolv

To any and all mount farmers and admirers alike, i highly recommend checking out http://www.findaeonaxx.com, the site is designed to help you spend less time farming and more time showing off your mount in front of the stormwind bank! It has all the latest strategies, information, and hints from people who have gotten the mount already! With it i got my mount in less than an half an hour (although a rather large amount of luck and RNG was involved ;D). Dont believe me check out Tolv, Lightbringer US. Got it January 11 at around 12:30 AM.

Sincerelly Yours,Helpful Mount Hunter :D

Comment by Pewmachine

To be quite honest with ya i haven't. However, I am waiting for him to spawn again so i can take some shots and post em.

Comment by MacOSXpert

Hunters can only use scatter shot and raptor strike on Aeonaxx.

Edit: In 4.0.6 PTR Hunters can FINALLY use ranged attacks on Aeonaxx.

Live 4.0.6- You can use Ranged attacks on him.

Comment by trivion

Hey iv been Camping him for about 10 hours or so and i would be glad to get any helpful information. Height were u saw him. at what time did you see him and so on... please give cords! iv heard about the spawn point above the Stonecore entrnace or QB anyone seen him spawn any were else? please give more helpful posts.

Comment by zorplex

tl;dr: I GOT HIM! While, stupidly, still in holy spec and racing against both a server reset AND being chased by Alliance. Casedistorted's information is accurate and I caught the spawn approximately 18 hours after a Tuesday maintenance reset. Remember to be patient, take deep breath and, most importantly, enjoy the ride!

I JUST got the mount and wanted to verify the above information and give a retelling of the rather exciting (to me) tale.

I had been interested in this mount since I first heard of its existence but hadn't really been trying in earnest until yesterday after the server came back online from maintenance at 11AM server time Tuesday, Jan 11. I was originally camping the quartz basin but moved to the spot indicated by casedistorted. About 6 hours into the second attempt at camping, at 5AM server time Wednesday, Jan 12, I had just started browsing, again looking for more information on Aeonaxx, when my NPCscan goes off! (Set to the inception BWAAHHHHHHHHHHH! soundtrack) I, of course, start panicking and quickly switch back to WoW and see that he's, literally, right on top of me! I saw it spawn in the background and he spawned exactly at the spot described by case!

Now here is where it starts to get interesting. I quickly start to spam M2 trying to mount and succeed, only to realize that I am still in holy spec! I am shaking while I try to reorient myself and start slowly DPSing while I work out the best way to target Aeonaxx. I'm still trying to control my breathing and shaking fingers as I slowly whittle down his health and deal with the whelps as they spawn. I figure I will just take my time and enjoy the ride; as an 85 holy paladin, I figure it is only a matter of time... As I'm talking in general and guild chat, someone says they saw me with alliance right behind so I start to look around and, sure enough, there are a handful of Alliance right on my (Aeonaxx's?) tail. I start to worry as I don't know how it will pan out once I down the dragon with alliance to greet me on the ground... I figure I'll manage and should be able to loot or, at the very least, respawn quickly enough and loot without them killing me twice in a row. But then something happens that throws all my plans into peril...

I was half way done with the HP bar standing between me and sweet phosphorescent mountiness when I see, in the chat pane, words that chill me to the bone... "Server Reset in 15 minutes!"

...You have GOT to be kidding me...

What started as a merry ride around Deepholm (which, subsequently, earned me the Deepholm Explorer achievement) suddenly turned into a race against time. I frantically start to work out a better spell rotation to optimize my HOLY SPEC DPS as much as possible. Before now, I had been constantly changing my view in order to target and successfully hit Aeonaxx and the whelps. I manage to somehow get my view oriented forward, slightly down and to the left in such a way that I am consistently hitting both Aeonaxx and the whelps without moving my viewing window.

At this point I try to spam as many spells as possible while maintaining my mana pool. My heart continues to race as I start trying to work out whether I will manage to down the beast before the clock strikes zero... By the time 10 minutes are left until the server reset, I have brought the HP below 100k and my concern returns to the Alliance who are STILL right behind me. I bring the HP down below 10k and then wait until I am in a good position, just west of the Earth Temple, and finally finish him off.

The parachute deploys and I slowly start to drop to the ground with 9 minutes remaining and see two alliance members land directly below me. I had come so far and was not about to let some Alliance get the better of me... I am a dozen feet from the ground when I see a green name quickly fly into view and engage the enemy! Relief fills every inch of my being as I land and attempt to loot... only to be unable to do so! I am unsure what was causing it, whether it was due to lag or some other spell that had been cast on me, but I had to wait what felt like an eternity, but was more likely only a few seconds, after landing until I was able to loot the newly grounded corpse.

I managed to grab the reigns just in time (quickly assuring the game I was indeed wanting to bind loot to myself that only I could have looted in the first place...) as the Alliance quickly finish me off while I sit back with a smile on my face. I wait a few seconds before returningw to my body and quickly fly back to the Earth Temple's safety where the Alliance and I face off with emotes. I eventually teleport back to Orgrimaar to celebrate with the final seconds counting down to the server reset.

To be honest, I really wanted this mount more for the experience than the mount itself. From the videos I saw, the fight, while easy, just looked like so much fun! And, indeed, it was! The only tip that I can add is, if you find yourself getting too shaken up by the excitement, take deep, controlled breaths. This honestly helped insure I didn't mess up as my hands were constantly shaking otherwise.

Oh, and one more thing, you should probably pick a DPS spec if you want to avoid running out of time. >_>;;

Comment by rustam88

im 6 hours into camping the spot casedistorted advised, no spawn yet but 1 ally appeared in the usual basin spawn spot, if case is right I should be first to get him if he ever spawns. gonna sit for 5 more hours i think. If it comes out ill confirm ones again case's theory. I hope to anyway.

Comment by Noxxzz

Just killed him, found him north-east of the temple flying south. not that high in the air, same as the stonecore.

hope it helps

Good hunt

Comment by GeestirHyjal

I did it melee.. took about 25-30 minutes as a hunter. It was extremely difficult to manage the timing, bandage myself if I took damage, and keep up the low dps.

Can someone swing by you and drop a heal on you as your fighting him?

Comment by jamesbb

It's been 16 days and no sign of Aeonaxx. 10 of thoes days I camped literally 24/7. I've seen 8 blood seekers so far.

Comment by Nocterius

I'm not sure that a druid putting a heal on you would work since they would find themselves Entering Combat after said heal and would likely be cursing your name the entire time they are falling to their death. I do think however you could safely say that a Draenei mage could to do it by hitting you with Gift of the Naaru then using Slow Fall on themselves to land safely.

He has a spawn timer of 8 hours to 3 months

Comment by zalzatin

Spawned at 45, 45 after 3 days of nonstop camping at 18:30 Eu-Neptulon server time. Spotted it with my second account which has been used mainly for capming rares but had enough time to get there after 3 min with main to get the kill. during this 3 minutes he was hovering at 60 yards altitude and didnt move an inch. With this kill im oficially done will all outdoors mounts and just need 5 more mounts to hit 150.

Comment by Jizaria

I found him yesterday (2/16/2011) at 8:47 server time while I was mining in Deep.

Location: Fly outside the Temple of Earth and to the RIGHT. He didn't spawn very high as I was mining when NPCSCAN went off. I am a Troll Warrior (DPS) and I found him very easy to kill. Took about 5 minutes. My health remained over 3/4 while I was attacking him.

I hope this helps!

Comment by rhodox

Rhodox, human mage, borean tundra server US. Just confirming a location and spawn time in case anyone trying to see a pattern. Aeonaxx spawned at 6:55am CST. East of temple earth, flying in a circular pattern in between the temple and outer ring just a lil higher then the stonecore entrance. I dont know if this is a new path of his but from most post I've read he takes a clockwise path around temple earth. This was not the case with me. This happend 5 min before restart 2/22/2011 and I was able to down him before servers went down :).

Comment by Drist

I got him yesterday at around 2 PM server time (argent dawn). I was flying to wrap up the missions there and was super lucky as he spawned right in front of me. I didn't catch the coordinates, but it was just a little north and east of the temple.

I can't say which direction he was flying since i had hopped on him almost instantly after spawning, but during the fight he did fly in a clockwise direction.

The fight itself was fairly easy on my hunter as you can now target him bows and his 'attack' were quickly killed w/ ranged attacks.

One other thing, you can hop on him while you are flying and is just a little higher than the dungeon entrance.

Comment by Drist

They fixed not being able to shoot him with bows as that's how I got him yesterday. Took about 4 minutes.

Comment by Riggleboy

Just adding to the data. Aeonaxx Spawned at 12:49 AM right above Stone Core entrance (56,57) on 2/25/11. I was able to take him down within 2 minutes without even paying attention to the whelps. I did have to take a health flask (I recommend you keep one close by if you don't focus on the whelps) as the whelps DID bring my health down well below 50%.

The bug with the targeting seems to be fixed since the latest patch. I was able to use ranged attacks solely and disregarded melee attacks. Being a hunter, this helps big time :)

Insight:NPC went off and it took a bit longer BEFORE Aeonaxx was visible to me (I've read this can happen).

Good luck!

Comment by redrayn

My NPCscan went off when I was doing the JC daily to get Elemental Goo. He flies high in the air, and will appear friendly at first. Fly near him and you see an option to ride him like a vehicle. This triggers an objective to kill him before the whelps overwhelm you. Was a piece of cake on my Death Knight Tank.

When I found him, he was patting around the Temple of Earth on the West Side.

When he falls to the ground as you dismount, loot him to claim your Phosphorescent Stone Drake.

Comment by Cateaka

I've been farming this thing since Jan and I STILL haven't seen it...I got it on my alt on a completely different server but I transfered off that morning with my main. It made me so mad. I just want to know if any of you have any tips other than using NPCScanner to camp for him.

Comment by gravnar

wait... wait... wait... you think he is serious? It's obvious he was joking... /facepalm

Comment by CysticCrab

just Found it at 11 o clock my time, easy kill at 85 with pvp gear, didnt even hurt me, camped for about 3 weeks.

Comment by coniewt

mage on Bloodscalp server. just kill it 5 min ago. i ran into him at the east side of the earth temple. he's not very high, about the height of those shattered parts of stelae. extremely easy for a mage to solo. after i mount him he began to fly to the pale roost. i finally killed him there and still has almost full HP. good luck hunting

Comment by krisbail2002

just a fyi he showed up on the akama server today at about 8:45 am central time. i was in the tunnel saving pebbles when the npc scanner went off so by the time that i got out he was gone. he doesnt stick around for long on maybe a few minutes from what i could tell. also i think i read that there is a blood bat that shares the same timer. the bat did NOT show up before or after the alert went off.

what is the range of the npc scanner?

if it goes off does that mean the the target is like right next to you or anywhere in deepholm?

is it only around for as long as the scanner is going off?

Comment by amgyn

I believe npcscanner will go off if the Npc enter's your targeting range... this places the NPC in your cache and as such NPCscanner will know you saw him.

Comment by walozdle

Finaly found him after about 4days and 7nights camping.

What I did was use a joystick-to-keyboard mapping program (Joytokey is my fav) and had my 'L' trigger set to 'A' and my 'R' trigger set to 'D', with slightly different repeat rates. Then you can either tape them down, or press them up agaist something while you sleep so that it keeps turning you and keeps you logged in. Then you just have to camp in the right place; I chose slightly south of the stonecore and at the same height as it's entrance as to be near 3 spawn points.

I already talked to a GM about using this method, and he said that there was nothing to worry about as far as getting banned/suspended for doing it. Just make sure you have your cpu volume at max so it wakes you up when NPC_scan goes off.

Search Joytokey on google and it's the second result.

Don't worry it's safe.

Happy camping =]

Comment by Carnos1988

Holy !@#$, just got my drake 'bout 30 minutes ago after about one week of more or less frequent farming.

good thing was, at 5.30 no one else was playing and aeonax spawned directly in front of me.

to contribute some insormation that might ne of use:

-i was camping the southeast spawn point (you know, where those two zones were overlapping).-i flew at about the height of the stonecore entrance-i really intended to give up rght the moment he spawned, so i moved towards terborus spawn point to get at least some gold :D

so summing it all up i cant help saying the sw spawnpoint really paid out.

additional info: did it as blood dk in tabk gear at about ibvb 350...didn't even notice the ads. shouldn't really be the slightest of problems for any char at lvl 85 nowadays.

don't give up, your time will come too, i wish you all lots of luck : )

edit: if you're searching for REAL info, and not just speculation, THIS http://aeonaxxresource.com is the page you should visit. There is also a macro section i found really nice...though it may not ofer much, it offers a 100% legal way to stay online without having to move your char away from his finely tuned camping point ;-)

it removes your away status by just clicking it, while it is tageting aeonaxx OR blood seeker if possible. It will also whisper you if you've got a hit on any of them.

please note that you have to replace "*self*" with yout character's name.

well, and one thing shouldn't go unmentioned: if you see someone camping a spawnpoint: son't camp! it makes little baby jesus cry :-(

Comment by Aquless

I just started looking for Aeonaxx. I'm about a 5 hours in but have been basically letting NPCscan look for me. It's a great addon and if you go looking for him i strongly recommend that you install it from curse.com.

ID#: 50062Name: Aeonaxx (duh)Area: Deepholm

hope this helps and good luck to any one searching for him.

>.< i hate that drake. now i'd farmed him all day, then he flys by with someone already on his back... Anyway, found him flying around 51,68.. well, back to farming :/ good luck on him everyone!

Comment by abraxiswolvies

Just a post if anyone is looking for a pattern just had NPCscan go off on EU server Hellfire at 2355 server time, and by the time I caught up with that drake it was downed :( was around 49,65

Comment by Gizmok

I found him on Khadgar EU.

Quick facts:Hight: almost at the same as stonecoretime: about 19:40Where? I don't have cords but it was south/west, since I was camping between the two spawn points there.

This is what happend:

After 2 days of straight farming I was still sitting in Deepholm. The clock was about 19:40 when one of my friends whispered me, trying to make me do something else, since he thought my mounts (I'm a collector :p) was all a waste of time... I was about to tell him why I wanted this one so badly, but then dun dun duuun... NPCscan goes off. I almost panic since I lost him last time, and didn't camp for weeks. I target him, and notices that he's a bit below me (I had placed my self in a hight a bit over Stonecore). I fly down as fast as my drake could carry me, aaaaandd click -

--DISCONNECT!--

Oh crap. I typed in my password while my hands were still shaking, and then quickly click my hunter... looooaaading screen... sooo slooow.... When I finally get in, seeing he's still there, I fly down again, saw another camper behind me, and clicked Aeonaxx. That's when I noticed that I was in my BM spec... -.- oh well, serpent sting, arcane, cobra, Arcane, arcane, arcane... WHELP, cobra, arcane... As a hunter I was standing on his back and shooting his head, and the whelps when they came. While standing on that drake's back, I suddenly noticed that I'd forgot my friend, and that he was getting mad at me because I didn't answer... all I could say was: I found him! friend: your drak? me: Yeaa! and then no more, cause my hands were shaking...! My friend rushes down to Deepholm, so that he could greet me (even tho I'm an ally, and he's a hordie, cheers for Real ID!) when I had downed him, which I had when he came (:

Really thought I lost him at that disconnect... Never give up guys, he's a great mount, and you'll sure love the feeling when you get him :P

EDIT: Just edited a little for grammar :)

Just killed him at 09:45, GMT+1 :) such a pretty drake! (Vek'nilash -eu)

Comment by 0risi

Yeah so... Seen Aeonaxx 3 times now in the past four days... Missed him each time, saw two people die on him. also missed him a month ago, day after I got reigns of poseidus. Really killing me inside...

Spawned at 08:33am server time eu khadgar on thurs, 21 July 2011, 02:54am on Saturday morning (killed by a horde shadow priest who was farming herbs...) and seen this morning Sunday 03:51am.

I can confirm two spawns at the south west spawn of the temple. Seems they have reduced his spawn times?

Good luck and don't go to the toilet, even if it is only for two minutes...

Lol u mad bro cuz you dont have the mount?

Comment by Drainmor

When I found out about this NPC I went looking for it , I estimated it spawns every 4 Hours so I went on a time after 4 hours when he was last seen..after about and hour of searching I Just started killing a horde..then I wanted to test my NPC Scan so I went to were Jadefang is just as I was flying in that Zone My NPC went of it was Aeonaxx I quickly clicked the wee box but never targeted him so I went searching for about another 10 minutes but could not find him..I think Overlay has wrong route as I My NPC went off in a zone were Overlay never said he went around..So I don't know if NPC Overlay is right.

NOTE: Remember when NPC_Scan Goes off STOP as soon as look about first try to tag him (May be to far away) as This had happend me once I scanned him I kept going forward and paniced the I tried to tag him that was the biggest mistake! So make sure you stop :)

Comment by lindele

So two days ago " 8/24/2011" i finally got Aeonaxx after being on vacation for 3 days...and camping for him for 2 days total before leaving. Right when i logged on after coming back i went right to Deepholm, and to my surprise...he was there :D and of course i got my drake(: woop woop! freebies! FTW!

Comment by MythSwag

does anyone else get pissed when you see someone with the mount and you whisper them asking about details of the location and stuff and they respawn "i was questing and i saw my npc scanner go crazy" or like "i was just roaming and i found him" i hate how the random lucky people always get it

Comment by Hailfury

Yeah, so far off and on for about a week I've been camping this guy with absolutely no hits at all on NPCscanner! If it weren't for you few who say you saw and looted I'd prob have quit thinking its crap and he doesn't exist..however... HAPPY CAMPING!

Comment by Lolia

Ok, so I've been on and off camping this Dragon ever since X-mas and I'm now going to pour everything I have found out so far. Keep in mind everything is not set in stone and these are my own observations.

Realm: Silvermoon EU

Excluding the on and off camping up until a month a go I have been here camping 24/7 excluding the odd break of a couple of hours or so. I had also read that the spawn timer is between 6 and 22 hours. This I am not so sure about this. I still haven't come across any proof that he can only (Or Blood Seeker) spawn within those hours also.

99% of my camping has been between the Quartzite Basin and the Stone Core entrance. According to WoWhead this has the best overlay point excluding two possible spawn areas.

Another Observation I have come across is the Phasing dispute. Other campers seem to laugh when I tell them It can be phased, to allow other questers a chance to obtain him. I have read GM tickets and also had fellow players write tickets on the matter and it is safe to assume he does phase sometimes. (Doing the quests in Deepholm has no effect unless you want to camp in one of the phases, I myself have only done 4 quests in Deepholm)

I believe this theory as I have gone days sitting here without an Aeonaxx or Blood seeker spawn, and also have heard of people getting him even though I was facing the spawn point and was online at the said time.

Also, please clear your cache even if you haven't seen Aeonaxx or BS. I did this myself about three weeks into camping after not seeing anything and the same day Aeonaxx appeared beside me and resulting with my NPC scan going off. Of course another camper got him before me as it spawned on top of him.

The last known spawn was 5pm Saturday 24.09.11 and I have been still sitting here without any sign from either of the two. So it makes me wonder if his Spawn timer could be longer than 22hours? I can confirm the lesser time he can spawn is exactly 6 hours as two of my friendly fellow campers obtained their mounts this way. First spawn was at 1:26am 22.09.11 and then he spawned again at 07:27am the same day. Another sighting was recorded at 15:55pm on the same day also. Blood seeker appeared at about 20:10pm on the Friday and I haven't seen or heard anything since.

I will update my findings and please be aware you could be after this rare for months. I personally think it's all down to luck as this rare is harder to track than TLPD because of the possible phasing.

Best of luck to all who want it <3

Edit: Here are the custom ID's you need to manually add to NPCscan. To add them or to check if they are already cached type /npcscan a red 'x' means you need to clear your games cache from your World of Warcraft Folder.

Comment by Deruka

@Lolia - many have said they think it's possible that his spawn timer could be more than 22 hours, however if you are only camping between those two points then your npcscan may not go off if aeonaxx/blood seeker has spawned at the other points.

It is also worth noting that you have to be extremely close to blood seeker for him to set off the npcscan, so it is possible he has spawned even though you have been there camping :/ personally i believe this is the answer rather than the phasing.

I'm currently camping (on sporeggar EU) but i'm trying to move between the spawn points as much as possible so that hopefully my npcscan will pick him up if he spawns at either the further away NE or SE points. So far only Xariona has triggered my npcscan. good luck everyone!

Comment by theonejanitor

Basically a 6-22 hour spawn timer, and more often instead either spawns a Blood Seeker, or nothing at all. You just have to get lucky, period.

Comment by Holybomshell

Spawned on Crushridge (US) at 2:16 server. Cord (44,59)

Comment by torrente111

jeee. Arathor (EU) at 6.27 server. by luck ))) happy camping

Comment by Blackaria

Found Aeonaxx straight south of the center port in to area, it was on Arthas server at 11:00 a.m. best part was herbing on my alt and logged out jumpped on main went down and killed it, on a saturday no less. had no idea it was such a rare spawn till a friend mentioned it, so I added this post with the time 11:00 am eastern/server time and at 48/64 co-ords (general location)

Comment by thanash

I have 0 reputation ("Hated") with Therazane. So as far as Aeonaxx spawning in different phases, my case is undeniable proof that this dragon does spawn in this specific phase, too. She flies rather fast, she doesn't fly slowly like the Time-Lost Proto-Drake; I know this for a fact because I got it too.

Also, I missed Aeonaxx only once on October 20th, 1:30 AM, when NPCScan went off, but my monitor had turned off...so by the time it finally lit up, she was nowhere to be found. I flew in circles around the temple and I found nobody flying on her, or her corpse.

I was camping in between the small floating rock and the white rocks below, a little below the stone core entrance level, everyday after server restarts (tuesday night on), from midnight to 8 AM server time.

Good luck to you all!

Comment by Deadflower

Just Killed him this morning. Didnt take long at all.Server: Ravenholdt at 6:00am server timeNever camped it, just happen to fly over and npc scan went off.

Comment by Gracebladefisteu

Where to start. 1> Aeonaxx is bugged at the moment so nobady can farm it ,the reason for this is because Aeonaxx shares a spawn timer with the "blood seeker" and at the moment only the blood seeker will spawn! 2> When Aeonaxx does spawn it has no set "route" or "patrol" it simply flys around in a small circle on the spot, simple way to confirm this is to look at your npcscan overlay there are red dots at its spawn locations if it had a rout/patrol then you would see it on your map/minimap same as tlpd or Xariona ,Its only after you mount it that it starts its rout/patrol. 3>Hunters can easly farm this mount you just turn to face the tail Not the head when you fight it! 4>Aeonaxx does not despawn after a set time like the tlpd does it only despawns if you die while trying to kill it. 5>Aeonaxx is NOT afected by phasing it simply shows no mater what phase you are in! "if its there you will see it". Lastly i would like to say NOBODY knows the spawn timers for this rare and it does NOT turn into an elite! ppl just type rubish alot of the time, As for my own credability well iv farmed every rare in WoW more than once inc 2xtlpd 2xAeonaxx 4xposedius etc etc list goes on! I also have both ach frostbitten/bloodyrare So i hope this helps you and gd luck!

Hi!

Here is one of the best preview for his spawn point SW2 :youtube : Aeonaxx SW2You can see the height where he turn into circles.

Have a good luck!

Comment by Nixygirl

So, I got this guy 29th Dec at around 7:30am, Alonsus EU.

I was doing quests at Pale Roost when he popped my NPCscan...I'd already watched the youtube vid so knew what to do.

My char is an 85 mage, gear lvl 379...so he was pretty easy to take down and did little damage. It's a fun ride on his back too....he has little clones that fly out before him.

He looks so cool as well....so now I'm obsessed with getting him on my other chars :)

Good Luck hunting!

Comment by jensenav

Just killed him, 1/1/2012, 9:59 P.M. Central time, On Eradar realm.

He spawned right on the "M" of the Temple of Earth on the map. I was at the height of the Stonecore. 5 Days of camping. Took him down in about 15secs. I'm so pumped!

Comment by Ninjawoundz

On illidan- been camping since one exact week now whenver i possibly can usually between Noon- 630pm and then 11pm - 4am and thats only on every Tue, Sun, Mon because of raids. other than that i usually put in 5-6 hours at a time Daily with only food and snack breaks so prolly a total of 16-20 hours on my off days on n off with about 4-8 hours of sleep depending on when i get super tired. My main question is, Can Aeonaxx spawn directly after a server restart or maintenance? ive heard from many that he has a 6-22 hour spawn and yet i still have not seen this beauty yet =(. Not even a Blood Seeker, if anyone has anytips id apreciate it cuz i also am a mount collector and really want this one!

Comment by qrjan89

FOUND HIM!After a decade of camping, it finally spawned.I had camped for almost 3 straight days. Wednesday night, i was flying back and forth between the spawn spots, till the server shutdown 03.00. I was tired, but i had'nt loose hope.server started again 11.00 wednesday morning, i logged in, and the NPC scan flashed up at the very second! I have been hunting this NPC for months, and i feel i have earned it :)

i used a 386 ilvl hunter to take him down, it went very fast and i took aeonaxx dawn before the second whelp spawned, so it went very fast :)

Tip: there is no phase spawns, this is complete rubbish. There is no phases in the "1.st ring" around the temple. while i was camping, i helped "low" level ppl with quests and protecting them vs gankers. GL to ya all who hunts this, your gonna need it ;)

Comment by jodes26

I found him while doing the pebble daily, did a bog lap and he spawned!Far end, towards the daily hub.

Good luck to the farmers!

Comment by Vocomortis

Spawned at 18:30 Vashj server time. Downed him within a minute or 2 on my Fire mage. Just randomly while on my way to kill Elementals for the JC daily.

Comment by Kegmen

i have heard that he also shares a spawning cd with a bat or other rare spawn in deepholm and does he fly around these spots that he spawns at like through the other spawn areas and does he sit on one of the rocks that he spawns at if these can be answered thatd be awesome this post is 4.3

Comment by Myriell

what is he god for? is he part of an achievement or does he drop an awesome item?

Comment by Holbrook

Well Aeonaxx is now mine. 1035pm Smolderthorn 2/8/12. All i can tell people is that he does exist, spawned for me directly to the right outside the temple of earth about 50ft off the ground alot lower than i had read in others' blogs. very easy fight as i am pvp geared but 403lvl, smoked Aeonaxx in 25 seconds one add spawn the whelps.

Comment by 775representing

I just killed aeonaxx today at 540pm pst not searching for it questing and found it i jumped on and mounted aeonaxx and began to kill the dragonkin it does a clockwise pattern in deepholm. though i had no skill to attack it but my own i killed it on my 82 pally if any questions i will reply

Comment by Dawnsnight

FINALLY after looooooooooooooooooooooong nights of hardcore camping I've gotten him! It took sooooo long and I always was thinking of giving up, but once I got him it was so worth it. Some people are silly lucky but usually-- us hard core campers aren't. It's a bummer really. I saw him spawn so many times and I always missed him to someone just coming in to do some dailies or mining.

But, I'm so glad I finally got him, he's awesome! Fight is SUPER easy so don't worry about dying. If you DO die, you don't deserve him lol.

xoxo

Comment by popje

Here my broken heart story about this mount:

I've been camping this month for about 2 weeks 8-12 hours each day, then I just gave up after reading a couple stories about people camping for weeks if not months then getting their mounts stolen by a low level alliance. I couldnt stand how frustrating it would be.

Then one day while I was leveling on my mage in deepholm, npc scan detect Aeonaxx, I quickly change character because I wasnt sure if I could kill him on my mage and wanted the mount on my pally anyways, I fly to deepholm and see the drake, I was on my holy spec so I quickly change spec, and I mount Aeonaxx, I was on his back and 4 seconds later, instead of becoming hostile like he is supposed to me, he just despawned and I fell in a parachute. No, I did not bubble, Ice block or vanish, no, there was noone else around when this happend, no, I did not do anything wrong.

Opened a ticket and ofc they cant do anything since I cant prove exactly what happend.

Comment by JCHartm

Just wanted to post some details on fighting Aeonaxx. He is a really easy fight, all you have to do is fight off his whelplings and slowly take him down. I took him down with a freshly dinged hunter and i lost almost no health.

Comment by Nocterius

I finally got him on Arathor, March 06, 2012 at approximately 4:15 AM. I had done a quick round before calling it a night and decided to hit the portal and check on the other rares (nothing) then just as I re-entered the temple NPCscan went off. Took a minute to locate him as he was up pretty high, just a bit higher than the dungeon entrance.

Fight was easy for bear and the adds were a snap just hitting them with Fairie Fire and a Demoralizing Roar occasionally. Fun fight and a great trophy!

Good luck to everyone still hunting. It's a long haul but well worth this gorgeous mount!

Comment by Froen

Just got him on my 85 ret pally. Spawned at 7:54am (03/18/2011) at approx 45.8, 56.9. He was flying in a southeast direction slightly above the Stonecore entrance paltform. He turned 180 degrees and flew NW when i mounted him about 44.2, 52.7 (again just above the Stonecore entrance). Fight was fairly simple, three adds total appeared at separate times and no problem taking them out with excorcism or judgement, usually one or two hits. Downed him about 52.8, 44.8 in about 30-40 second fight. Chute opened and got my loot.

Started searching at level 83 (about 2 weeks ago) during normal questing then doing daily therazane grind. While I would sometimes just hover and wait, I am impatient so I would grind ore and periodically check the Temple area.

This morning I flew out of the Temple and cut left to head for the Therazane throne . I would always do a flyby around the temple as my normal check. Flying counterclockwise about halfway between the temple and the stone pillars at approximately the 11 o'clock position (on map) NPC_Scan alerted to his presence. Total time invested in the search was probably 5-6 hours, but I would periodically come to Deepholm and do a flyby thru the course of my game play.

Good luck!

Comment by CamperDeepholm

Aeonaxx spawn timer is not totally random... It can spawn only 8 hours after derp bat has spawned(Blood Seeker).Also there is a chance aeonaxx wont spawn and bat will spawn again.I am telling u this so u wont be camping for no reason trust me i have been there...

Comment by CamperDeepholm

Also let me tell u this aeonaxx has 4 spawn paces 2 north and 2 south.The altitude must be just above the entrance to stonecore.For aeonaxx to spawn bat must have spawned first or u are wasting your time.

Comment by rockstar111

What do you mean, Bat must spawn first?I have been waiting for days now , I am always there , and I have not seen the bat or aeonaxx and I have added the bat to my npcscann, I am a hunter btw so I have dragon kin tracking as well. I have completed all the quests in DH

Comment by Enstevdude

I found him the other day pretty much right outside stonecore on Nordrassil (US) 2:20 server

Comment by joebowen

I got it. I finally got it. After a month of 6hr, 8hr, 24hr camping days I finally got Aeonaxx - on my birthday! To top it off, I logged in at Jadefang's spawnpoint four hours ago and got my spider too.

Comment by Diodor

I'm camping him outside Stonecore for the past 5-6 months on and off. Last 4 days I'm there ~17h a day (only not when I'm sleeping). And in all this time I only saw 1 blood seeker (for about 2 sec until it despawned). Aeonaxx surely has some important business since he is so lazy to show up in Azeroth.

Comment by Tollstoy

So I've been camping this guy on and off since cata's release. I saw him two days ago, or at least npc scan did. I was outside having a smoke and the person that won that beautiful thing informed me that it spawned right on top of me.I'm going to continue searching for this cheeky chap and it's lead me to quit smoking. You may say it's a stupid reason, but a stupid reason to quit is better than no reason at all. Happy hunting all.

Comment by Suunde

Spawned on Arygos at around 5:25 realm time. He was right in front of me, but I guess someone else was there, coz after I clicked on him a hundred times, the other guy took off on him. I felt horrible watching him fly off, coz I've been camping for literally MONTHS. Oh well...someday he will be mine!

Comment by Dashslash

Okay, so I am still after this guy but today I took a break from the camping to do some herbing. NEVER AGAIN. I was flying over Needlerock Chasm and picking some heartblossom when I saw it. NPCscan exploded and my screen lit up. Aeonaxx, behind me, 10% health, a troll on his back. He died within seconds and within another minute, his corpse was gone. D:7:08pm Sighting (Server Time) on Nagrand, Oceanic realm.SO SAD :'(

Comment by stevey629

been camping in the evenings for him mostly, just to avoid competition from other players. Camped for about a month, just for about 3-4 hrs per evening. Xariona had been setting my NPCscan off earlier that day, and even then, just hearing the drum default alert already made my heart feel like it jumped up into my throat. A word of commonly shared advice, just find something else to do! It makes camping so much easier. Kinda like leaving a fishing pole set by a lake while you read a book or something. Camping can be quite enjoyable if you leverage its requirements. I used it to take breaks from sitting at the computer, to eat dinner, or do a few loads of laundry, or to do some challenges in Halo Reach. Even though this is a burst style of camping, it does help you to keep your sanity.

It took me a whopping 10 mins to take him down as a prot pally. I definitely knew I would survive, but what I was worried more about was DC'ing. Such a great way to acquire this mount. I felt the total opposite way about it before I actually got him, but it's just so satisfying knowing I killed a dragon to get the reins. Just have to say it, the rush is insane. I love that there are highly coveted items like these in the game. My hands were shaking so much I could barely hit my hotkeys.

Im kinda bummed about not camping anymore in a strange way. Now, dont get me wrong here...The act itself of just holding out in a location, is horrible. Its a waste of time, feels hopeless, and is frustrating at the best of times. The weird thing is, that camping had just become part of a routine for me. I had something to look forward to even when I wasn't at my comp. I treated it like a passive treasure hunt. The past evening has just felt like something is missing.

Keep at about the height of stonecore's entrance, if not just slightly higher. The spot I camped was near a spinning rock smack dab in the middle of 4 spawn points. I think it's at about 45,50 ish. It's all by itself, and shape-wise, it kinda looks like a Diamond you'd find in an engagement ring, just really poorly cut. That rock is slightly higher than his spawn height, as I had to fly down to him from that altitude.

Anyways, I won't delve into the fight details and such. That's well covered in other posts. best of luck everybody, keep your spirits high and try to make the best of a boring situation! It WILL be worth it!

Comment by Thieve1

3 Times I have seen this now first time was around 19.40 UK time and then 2 weeks later 19.13 where I missed it. Then 7 hours and 3 mins later I saw it again! 2.16 UK time i was so so so close to getting it when a DK jumped on his back! Gz to him I suppose. seem to be getting closer every time! 5 weeks today I have been camping and I have the worst luck so far on it.

I have noticed its always early evening and early morning it spawns, always seen it spawn when more than 10 people are in deepholm. It has been confirmed that it spawnsMORE THAN ONCE A WEEK so ignore all of the bull*!@# going around about it spawning once per week. its to scare off all of the competition.........DONT GIVE UP all comes to those who wait.

^^ this should help you guys. Weekends and active server times seem to be the best bet! however this has not been fully proven although this is the times ^ others and myself have seen it. I have personally seen it spawn in the same place 3 times now! which is the west side of the temple covering 2-4 spawn points.

Thieve1 out!

This is on Frostmane EU for those wondering.

after the camp of 5 minetus at 12 o clock i went to sleep and closed wow tommorow after i came from school ate lunch i went and opened my PC and NPCscan:found aeonaxxx i was at stonecore height and i near the entrance it was right below me :D

Comment by Aloodanis

I have been camping him on and off since cata released (even more after 4.1) and have yet to see him spawn. I have been camping him, on average, about 10 hours a week.Yesterday I finally seen blood seeker spawn. This was the closest I have ever got to seeing him.It kind of want to give up hope on him.

Comment by StarcallerVoxy

Funny 10 day diary of camping Aeonaxx... Valuable piece of info he spawned infront of me at 13:15 uk time (14:15 game time) while i was afk ... after 10 days of nothing... and someone else got him! In the far top left corner of the spawn points.

Day 1: So my hunt for Aeonaxx begins, I've read this beast is one hard to find but with my recent 2 minutes camping luck with Skoll I'm sure this beast will be no match!

Day 2: Aeonaxx, where are you? I hope your not going to turn our like Loque and after 2 years of semi-camping him still no luck....

Day 3: Aeonaxx, this game is getting rather boring, your now preventing me from leaving the Deepholm just incase you are to spawn...

Day 4: I'm starting to get frustrated Aeonaxx, not only have you not spawned but NOTHING in 4 days has spawned...Is this just a myth?

Day 5: Im starting to think his beast is definetly not real, although the outstanding knowledge on wowhead seems to persuade me otherwise... my hunt will go on!

Day 6: I'm starting to think that Aeonaxx has a spawn timer of atleast a week, ive been camping here for 12hours + a day and nothing. No rares have spawned in the past 6 days in deepholm...I'm starting to think that maybe my computer is infact bugged?

Day 8: This dragon is too elusive... But my heart tells me to stay here and just be patient...Atleast i can study while i camp and just listen out for the npc scanner to go off... im a little concerned now that the bat hasnt spawned either...what is going on Aeonaxx, where are you?

Day 9: Dear Diary, my patience is wearing thin, 9 days of no Aeonaxx and my frustrations are really showing. Im starting to think this dragon has adopted some kind of Romulan cloaking device to evade capture... But i wont give up hope, i can feel you about to spawn any second!

Day 10: So now its day 10, after a few too many glasses of wine last night i log in and start camping. I did a couple of laps around Jade fang and Terborus and to my amazement they had both spawned at the same time! So i killed Terborus, run back to see if u have spawned but nothing...And then request help and tame the beloved Jade Fang...And back to your spawn spots i fly... I go and get some lunch... Check on you... nothing... I go downstairs to tidy the kitchen and have a quick cigarette... i was gone for less than 4 minutes...I come back to NPC scanner going mad...You had spawned...Infront of me! I quickly zoom my camera around but cant see you, my worst fears, someone else has got you? I quickly /1 and say "has anyone caught aeonaxx..." ............I cry as a lvl 85 rogue says "yes im on him now" i add to party and see you flying with someone else on your back.... 10 days Aeonaxx... My heart is broken!

I ported into Deepholm to do my dailies, upon porting in, my NPC scan went off inside the temple, I flew outside and he was flying right around Temple of Earth, mounted him and killed him. Easy to solo.

Not sure how long he had been spawned because he was up as soon as i ported into the zone. Didn't even realize he dropped a mount, just saw a rare and knew I should kill it. Apparently I was VERY lucky, after reading these other comments, he can be quite elusive!

Mount is beautiful btw. Love it!

Comment by StarcallerVoxy

Killed after 15 days camping 12+ hours a day.

Killed on day 15 at 16/05/2012 at 19:15 uk time (20:15 game time) on Nagrand.Spotted on day 10 at 11/05/2012 13:15 uk time (14:15 game time) on Nagrand. (was afk :()

He spawned both times just slightly south of the stonecore entrance as i sat myself between the two spawn points with npc scanner/overlay.

The flight: I am a SV lvl 85 Hunter, ilvl 388 and took no more than 20k damage the whole fight. I did not have to turn around and shoot his tail/wings either. I sat on his back and shot at his head, didnt worry about the adds. Took 35-40 seconds to kill him.

I logged in at 06:00 uk time (07:00) game time after the server reset as I saw rumours he spawns afterwards. He spawned 13 hours later.

Valuable information: In 15 days, the bat DID NOT SPAWN once. On day 10, Jade Fang, Terbolus, Aeonaxx AND Xariona all spawned just few hours apart.

Enjoy.

Comment by Chirider

I no longer believe he even exists.

I now believe that this is a really big joke that I'm not in on.

Comment by byoonie

If you're serious about camping for this guy, be prepared. I've been camping him for 7+ hours on weekdays, 12+ on weekends, and I have yet to even detect him via add-on. It's starting to feel hopeless...

Comment by LiriellGarrosh

Just downed him on my 85 demo warlock with no trouble, was an easy fight. I summoned my doomguard, but I'm not sure if he was on the dragon's back with me or if he just spawned on the ground.

And the funny thing is, I went to Deepholm by mistake! NPCScan went off and I rushed off to look for him. My mage (who is my mount collector) is now totally jealous.

Comment by Kuthra

went through peoples times they posted and 40% of them were between 5pm and around 7 40pm others were pretty randomly scattered early in the morning or mid afternoon... i know its random just thought it might help

Comment by dwizzle88

After 2 weeks of solid farming (10-14 hrs a day) i finally got him. 3:00 pm Azjol-Nerub server. Took prob 15 seconds too down him and i paid no attention to the little dragons. Easy as pie for me (396 Lock) After i downed him i went to see if any other rares were up and only Jadefang was. All my hard work finally paid off, btw i was camping in between the 2 SW spawn points and he spawned at the furthest southern point. My npc scan picked him up from where i was and i could make out his figure for a split second with my view distance on "good." After that long of camping i had talked with most the other players that were camping regularly and they were all happy i got it instead of someone who had just happen to be there at the right time...keep camping and it WILL eventually pay off. Happy Hunting! and remember being nice to other campers can only help you :)

Just killed Aeonaxx, 03:30 server time, Xavius, at 52.2, 64.6, now i know people dont like to talk about spawn times as such but what i can tell you is that on thursday 31/5/12 @ exactly 11:00am my friend from same server killed him at exact same location, so thats what 41 hours between kills, oh and he was circleling his little zone clockwise. i dont knwo what more i can say, except keep at it, i did, it does pay off.

Find him around 43.6, 59.6 area while i was sitting in around 43.4, 47.4 area, so the npcscan actually able to scan quite a bit far away. (He is huge, well, his bright teal color is really eye catching, if you have your screen quility as "Good", you should be able to see him)

He's not that high above, around the stonecore dungon level i think

He fly in circle, i mean, fly in circle in a dot point. Not like Xariona flying in a big circle at all. so ya, catch him quick =)

Some more noticed

With the whelp around which gives you damage, , u CAN melee attack them actually, no need range attack, which surprise me o_o (I am 65447 hp, and i never get below 50000 hp as long as i kill them once i saw them (tab and u will be focusing those whelp), so i can say that, those whelp's damage is not that high, of course, you have to kill them quick, they are around 10k hp or less i believe)

Aeonaxx himself can't deal u any damage, only the whelp can, so you just have to worry the whelp, then continue deal damage to Aeonaxx, that's all

first of all, i found Xariona, im surprise and try to kill, can't kill of course, then i ran around like a chicken try to ask other people to help

no one help, i was on horde hero, i jumped into my alliance hero and find some people

and by the time i got there again, Aeonaxx is THERE! omg me, i ran there, and tried to kill it (and my hunter has NO GEAR, 285 level)

half way of killing aeonaxx, my bow was broken.....i then jumped off, try to then log out quickly and get to my horde character which has all gear

then, aeonaxx DISAPPEAR, i can't find it anymore. i search for the people who is in deepholm atm and asked did they killed it or not, seems no one actually killed him either...

I wonder if u dismount him, does he just disappear...

anyway...i will farm for another one...i guess...(breath in and outBut this is really sad and im really upset now ;( im so damn stupid alright

Just killed Aeonaxx while flying through Deepholm. He was slightly higher than the level of stone core, almost as high as the floating rock platforms around it, and his coordinates were around 44.0, 46.5 (kind of NW of the tower if you look on the map).

Killed him as a ilvl 380 Survival hunter very easily. The entire fight took place on his back, killed him within a minute, parachuted down and looted this beauty!

Accidentally found him while flying to the throne. Good luck to everyone hunting!

Comment by cathline

I've been camping deepholm for 2 weeks now since the last known kill. I missed the last spawn by 5 minutes, I had been in Deepholm and left to check something on the AH. The 2 weeks I camped I would log in at 6:00am and be there until 7:30am (take kids to school), then I would log back in around 8:30am until 11:00am (pick up oldest), then log in around Noon until 3:00 (p/u youngest). Then I would log back in around 3:30 until 11:00pm or so. So I was not logged on all day long and there was plenty of time for Aeonaxx to spawn and me to miss it.

I logged in today (while eating lunch and taking a break from Diablo) and my Npc scan went off. I was sitting on the ledge just below and to the right of the Stonecore summoning stone. Aeonaxx spawned at the upper of the 2 spawn points there. He was flying slightly higher than where i was sitting and it took me a minute to actually find him.

Reminder to all hunting him. You have to right click to mount him. I've been off playing Diablo where everything is left click and kept left clicking to mount. I actually accidentally hit one of my spells while trying to mount and dismounted myself. Thankfully I'm a priest so could levitate to the ground but omg that was a heart stopper.

Anyway, once you mount he takes off and starts flying around the zone. I did have several whelps spawn but I just shielded and kept doing damage to Aeonaxx. Kept Shadow word pain, and plaque on him, did mind flay and shadow word death when ever off cooldown. It was not a hard fight but did take a few minutes. It didn't help I was so freaked over almost falling to my death that my hands were shaking and I kept hitting wrong keys.

My apologies to the worgen priest that chased him while I was fighting him, keep checking you will get him.

Server: AggramarDate: June 6thtime: 11:02pm

I was sitting in my usual camping place with another character. My NPC scan went off just as I headed to the kitchen to get something and I just missed getting Aeonaxx. However the Worgen Priest that I beat to it the other day got it. :-)

I have not been actively camping this time, just logging in and out to see if Aeonaxx is there. Today I had been logged in for about 7 hours when Aeonaxx spawned. Hope this helps figure out spawn times.

Comment by Shadowtree

I've been camping this bad boy for 4days, Only saw Xariona once( no aeonaxx atm) ... I have 2 account covering all spawn point. I dont think that drake Spawn more then once a week.. Same with time-lost proto drake... 1week and only saw like 8 vyragosa / 5 corpse... Each Time Im getting a heart attack... Just the feeling of hearing the npc scan alarm is unique... I hope ill find him soon and Ill get it ... Im in blackrock Us and Its a big server with 10-15 campers per day...

Happy hunting everyone :)! Gonna wait all summer till I get it :p

Comment by Pops715

I just had my NPC Scan go off for Aeonaxx (code:50062) on Cenarion Circle server at around 3 am server time but the strange thing was, I was nowhere near any of the spawn locations! I was logged in with my hunter and camping in the cave where Jadefang spawns. That cave is up at the northeast corner of Deepholm, way beyond the effective detection range of NPC Scan, so I'm wondering what's going on?

I have both of Aeonaxx's NPC Scan ID's added and I immediately confirmed that it was code 50062 that triggered the alarm and not code 51236 (tagged Aeonaxx).

Has anyone else experienced false alarms like this?

Comment by SomeChillGuy

For those of you who believe that he spawns higher or at a height level to the Stone Core entrance, he actually spawns quite a big lower. I was on my warrior Christmas Eve last year at around 9:00 am, mining/herb gathering and such in Deepholm, when he spawns right on me. I would have missed him if it wasn't for npc scan, I thought he would be aggressive, but he's not. He spawns relatively low, then flies up at about, or close to, a 40 degree angle, up to where most people find him. I'm hoping this is useful information, I almost always see campers as high if not higher than the Stone Core... I'm currently camping on my Death Knight at the moment. Keep searching guys, this mount is probably one of the coolest in the game.

Comment by Pops715

I think I may have found a possible seventh spawn location for Aeonaxx. Either that or it was a malfunction of either NPC Scan or World of Warcraft.

My NPC Scan alarm went off for Aeonaxx while my hunter was camping for Jadefang inside the Crumbling Depths; I was nowhere near any of the known spawn points. And when it happened, I checked to see which NPC ID had set it off and it was 50062, which is Aeonaxx BEFORE anyone mounts him. I uploaded a screenshot on Photobucket:

In the screenshot, you can see how far to the Northeast I am and can tell by the orange ring how far away I am from the six known spawn points.

Thoughts anyone?

Comment by Yelenea

If you have already gotten him, PLEASE do not try and get him on another toon. When mists comes out in a few months, every one of your toons will have him if one does. But in the meantime, everyone else trying to get him has to also compete with you, when you already have him.

Comment by darklatinflavor

My heart is beating so fast!I've been camping Aeonaxx for a few weeks now.. on and off.... So today before logging off, I decided to just go around the temple couple of times... As soon as got into deepholm.. they ncp scan went off.... I was drinking a margarita and spilled it all over my keyboard. Took me about 30 seconds to find him because he was flying really high. Realm: Twisting NetherTime: 4:15amCoord: 53,26 (not even close to where the ncp scan says he spawn), he was actually where Terborus is supposed to spawn.

don't give up!

Comment by Jazzifizzle

This beautiful baby just spawned as I went to Deepholm to farm leather for a friend.

I literally screamed in vent.Poor guys probably went deaf.

Comment by lich923

Cant find him im at the stonecore 4 ever and nothin :(

Comment by Drimbok13

Please up vote this if one can, because this is very recent observation of Aeonaxx.

I personally tagged and bagged this beauty at 2:04 am server time on the Shandris server last night/this morning. I was the third camper in Deepholm at the time, but I was still able to gather a bit of information during my 30+ hour camping period.

-Spawn times: It is very heavily rumored that Aeonaxx spawns in the same places Blood Seeker does. If you do not have that pesky bat in your NPC_Scan, add him now. The main reason to have this bat on your scanner/s is this: It is also heavily rumored that after Blood Seeker or Aeonaxx spawn, 6-22 hours one or the other may re-spawn, Aeonaxx having a 6% chance to spawn in place of Blood Seeker. I have verified this; roughly 9 hours after Blood Seeker had spawned, Aeonaxx showed up for me.

-Ideal Camping: The ideal spot is sitting in an area where you have at least three in your line of vision. It's easily accomplished, especially with view distance cranked up to at least Good or High. I personally camped in between the NW and SW points. He spawned SW for me. He makes tight circles around his spawn point so be quick!

Some tips from me: Alt tab during camping times, or plug in your speakers and go about your day. Don't lose hope, stay strong. If he or B.S. dies by someone else's hands, take a 6 hour break. Download NPC_Scan, NPC_Overlay and silverdragon. Pan your camera all the way out for max view distance. From the looks of videos and my personal experience, he flies a touch below the most commonly broken section of the surrounding pillars. Also, if you are a clothie, best of luck; I heard from an 82 priest that the fight was a close one for him, but mail/plate wearers can burn the ever livin' out of him without focusing on the ONE young stone drake he spawns at a time. If spawn points are camped, be courteous and just fly in between all of them.

Best of the BEST luck to you all! and I genuinely hope all of you are able to obtain this beautiful mount and fun fight. <3 Never give up hope!

Edit 1: The second downing of Aeonaxx I mentioned occured at about 12 this afternoon, another implication of spawning times. Edit 2: Obviously, you can now both range AND melee him now. :)

Comment by Cherryflava

I was just going around doing quests when my NPC scan popped up. Went and mounted him and was just hitting with crusader strikes and shield of the righteous. When whelps started spawning i used a few AOE hits. Pretty easy hardly did any dmg on my pally and whelps went down really fast.

Comment by Destian

I downed Aeonaxx around 11:30 PM tonight on Argent Dawn. Earlier today day, I killed Poseidus (my 2nd Poseidus kill). On the same day, I found and downed (with help) Julak Doom and Garr (and just missed Akma'hat).

Here's the kicker: I wasn't looking terribly hard for any of them. Here's what worked for me:

1. Use NPCscan. This is a no-brainer.

2. Have multiple max level characters that you can park near spawn locations, including parking 60+ characters in places where they can detect world bosses (it's usually safe to fly over areas as the odds are you won't be attacked by anything).

3. During your play session, cycle through your characters every 30 mins or so before returning to what you're doing.

I've parked my druid in vash'jir to check on Poseidus during his spawn windows. I have NEVER camped him. Rather, I just jumped over to check for him regularly and thus far I've killed him twice: I log in, fly over the water to his spawn locations and then log out at the last one (also checking for Mobus, of course).

I've done the same with my paladin in Deepholm which is how I bagged Aeonaxx.

Camp if you can afford to do so: Leave your computer running with your character situated in a place where NPCscan would detect the rare you're after. Just make sure to nudge the arrow key once every 30 minutes to prevent logoff.

But the real point here is that being able to quickly cycle through all of these spawn locations via having characters in position is huge when catching rares. Rather than having one character travel the world in search of rare spawns, just place an alt at every location you want to check on. Now that mounts and pets will be account-wide, there's never been a better time to do this.

Hope that helps.

Comment by EZHK

Arathor, 4:17 PM server time spawn, NW 1 spawn point (nearest to Stonecore entrance). Spawned close to the ground and started circling upwards, as expected.

As others did, switched from standard rotation to AOE when a whelp popped. The fight is going to be trivial for an 85 with any gear from the Twilight 5-mans.

Had been camping about a week, mostly daytime and early evening hours (left my home PC running with WOW in background as I worked).

85 Spriest, 494 ilvl.

NPCscan and an AFK alarm make this a lot easier to do while, you know, having something resembling a normal existence.

Comment by ebeni

was killed on whisperwind at around 1120pm, 1220server time. i don't know which spawn point because it wasnt me who killed it but my npc scan picked it up as it was being attacked

Comment by dexter98

Been camping Aeonaxx for a week now spent 20+ hours a day. He spawned on the 3rd day, unfortunately I wasn't at my keyboard at the time and someone beat me to it for few seconds when I heard NPCScan going off.

Now it's just constant camping wishing for another spawn, but it is really difficult with Cross Realm Zone to share rare spawns and it also mess up the spawn timer.

Comment by Ferrario

Just got Aeonaxx on Khaz Modan (maybe - not sure due to CRZ) at 8:50am CT...

I just started camping her today about an hour earlier... I was reading this thread and bam - she popped... SW of the Temple of the earth about Stonecore height...

Saw her about a week ago as well but was on an undergeared level 82 and tried to summon a guildie in to get her but we didn't get to her in time...

Hands are still shaking after hearing NPCScan go off and seeing her a little way away...

Comment by magicalchickens

I never camped for him, just flew the circuit once every time that I logged on. Flew out after coming through the portal and he was just there. Was surprised that no one else had tagged him but I just got lucky.

Comment by videodrome

I killed aeonaxx awhile ago, using a lot of information from this page. I consolidated it all into video format if anyone wants a demonstration of the routes and spawn points. You can see it here.

Comment by Crimsonmars

Got this bad boy yesterday after camping him for around 5 months, Was sooo happy.

My strategy was camping between two spawn points to the south west, the two that are closest together and just turning the volume on wow all the way up, and continue too do other things while waiting.

What i was doing at the time was just watching random videos on youtube, this just proves that you do NOT have stay on wow and watch for him too spawn, you can do other things as well :)

Verrrry easy to kill as a holy paladin :) just pop wings and divine purpose, holy shock when its up and spam Denounce.

Good luck too everyone who hasn't got him yet! :)

Comment by fanaticvo0

Got mine Today 01 October 2012 on Kazzak 5.15PM just outside the entrance to stonecore. Killed him in 5 Seconds im lvl 90 so yeah. When he died he landed on the side of the Cliff, i could not loot him, So i luckily found a Place just in range to loot and Voala my sexy new mount.... :D

Oh and i was just on my way to stone core to Drake farm and i Disbanded Group and hopped on him, iv never camped for him being kazzak is waaay to overpopulated so im one lucky Sod

Comment by Budlite

Spawned at 6:25 am server time today on Greymane.. SW spawn point closest to the temple.. very easy kill on my hunter

Comment by Kolbruns

Finally got Aeonaxx on Medivh server at 5:31am, Oct 1st. I'd been hearthed there for months, camping for long periods of time with no luck. =( I'd just hit 90 the day before, tired from the grinding, decided to go to sleep around 5:15am, and NPC scan woke me up soon after. A significantly lower number of ppl in Deepholm since MoP is still so new, so consider myself very lucky and wish the best of luck to those who continue to look for this mount. =)

Comment by Kattperuk

Killed him 4.35 AM at Argent Dawn. Was looking for him about 2 days until he spawned

Comment by Mia2

A friend of mine finally found and killed Aeonaxx after a good, long while of camping. Seeing as he got his stone drake, I decided to try my luck- since I'm more of the "Let me just fly by.." sort of camper, I went the next day (the day after he killed Aeonaxx) and.. There he was. Spawned around the early hours of 3 am, when he previously spawned around 4:30 am for my friend.I can confirm that Aeonaxx may or may not spawn two days in a row.

Happy camping!

Comment by wohjay

I sarted by downloading and installing NPCScan and *overlay, questing through deepholm, hoping to run into Aeonaxx. That never happened. I started hardcore camping, 10/17 hours a day my comp was logged on as I was within earshot, on the 20th of Sept. On the 23rd Anny spawned above quartzine basin, SW at 3:30, roughly. I was camping between N & NE he was with my visual range. I did not see him spawn for the next 10 days. He sapwned on the NW I did not record the time. Again, I was on a dif spawn site. I did not see him spawn for another 9 days but, I was sitting above the goblin shaman, Anny spawned at the NE site. Someone grabbed him, bagged him and I only knew because someone who was closer than me said on /1"who got him?" "I did" "gz""gz". I was so pissed to find out he could spawn and I could miss it and never know. Although its no dif camping TLPD. I had gotten unconfirmed information about spawn times and I believe I began to see a pattern of opportune moments enhanced by population. If there were a lot of people on, odds were high. From then on I logged on for no more than 3 hours at a time and stayed where any spawn site would set off my scanner, just south of the NW site I saw him at 7:15 sun 14th. At 13:52 14th. Then logged in at 11:30 mon night ba

Comment by Lupen202

Aeonaxx, why must you do this to me :( Three times now I've seen you spawn, three times I've almost died from a heartattack... THREE times now I've lost you to some passerby. Why couldn't you at least be taken by the person that has been camping with me for the last six hours? At least then I'd know you went to someone deserving. Why couldn't you have spawned in one of the four spawn points I had a visual on or could have picked up with NPC scan? Why did you have to spawn in the spawn point right outside the entrance to the temple? ;_;

The first time was at 1:32 am, second time was yesterday at 4:04, and the third was this morning, 6:59 am PST... after camping from 1:00 am till then.

And I was hoping the third time would be the charm.

EDIT: Finally got him on Nov. 29th around 9:57 pm PST. :'D

Comment by Seahnjin

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, I've posted it on AeonaxxResource but I figured this was important enough :Both Aeonaxx IDs co-exist when he's mounted.

The friendly <Mate of Aeosera> 50062 ID becomes untargetable once he is mounted, but it remains detectable by npcscan at long range : however clicking on the npcscan frame won't do anything, which leaves you wondering what the hell just happened. At this distance, only Aeonaxx is visible, not the rider nor the whelps on him. This also explains the "holy crap, I was in and I just got an alert for Aeonaxx's friendly ID ! New spawn point ?". Nope, just someone riding him flying close by - but not that close.Notice how once Aeonaxx dies, he reverts to the <Mate of Aeosera> ID.

The hostile 51236 ID (with no <Mate of Aeosera> title) will only trigger your npcscan from a SHORT DISTANCE. At this point, you will be able to target him and see the person riding on his back.

tl;dr : getting the friendly alert doesn't mean he wasn't mounted. Maybe he was and you were too far to trigger the hostile alert.

Photographic evidence :http://i50.tinypic.com/259dgjt.png - South-eastern spawn flying by as I was camping Quartzite Basin. npcscan frame displays his portrait, which means this is his friendly ID - the portrait goes blank when hitting the hostile ID as far as I know.http://i47.tinypic.com/2rdxog1.png - My npcscan cache 10 minutes later. Note how the mounted/hostile ID remained untouched. (I was on a different character, hoping to talk to the guy who mounted him - he was logged out, and to this day he still doesn't have the drake on his armory. I'm guessing the poor guy got disconnected...)http://i46.tinypic.com/2rc5r8l.jpg - Another, older spawn, showing the hostile ID alert and the distance at which it was triggered.

(Not sure why people are rating this down, I thought it was a pretty important thing to know so you don't get confused about friendly/hostile IDs. Just a bit farther up this thread there's a guy saying there might be another spawn point just because he got the friendly ID alert in an unlikely place. No, just no.)

Comment by WesW14

Just a info post- Got this guy as soon as I ported into the temple and NPC_Scan goes off and it spawned right outside the temple entrance. Gilneas server at around noon. Not sure of exact time and coords but NPC_Scan was going off while inside the temple. Was on a MM hunter and was able to use ranged abilities as well. Got lucky as I was just going to turn in a quest on my lunch break. Hope this lil bit of info helps someone. Good Luck its a great mount

Comment by stine

got this guy on the venture co. server at 5:14 am today!was casual farming and was alt tabbed reading these comments,i went to leave and npc scan goes off,aeonaxx was NW of temple flying near top.

Comment by valus471

Just killed Aeonaxx about 40minutes ago. However, he fell into a glitch and I was unable to loot him. Here are some pictures.

Comment by wilosoft

Just killed him 30 minutes ago on Scarshield Legion - EU, I asked my friend to invite me to group to jump to his server so I can catch a pet I can't find on my server, the instant I was transferred to his realm Aeonaxx was just on my spot xD, then after I killed him I asked another friend from Sporeggar to invite me to group to find those pets & BAM! Xariona was there xD I feel so lucky this week: I killed Time-Lost Proto Drake, Aeonaxx & Xariona!

Comment by Tenwaabi

Aeonaxx mine :P

Comment by Alfa

After many many hours of camping this guy in Cataclysm, I finally obtained him after not camping him. Was doing the Pet battle daily just outside the temple and killing some horde, he spawned and boy I couldn't mount him fast enough! So don't give up

Comment by piraka810

Aeonaxx spawned 2 times in a 2 hour period, I am unsure of whether this is related to CRZ in any way, but it disproves the earlier theory of a 6 hour respawn timer.

Comment by JesiMcCoy

What all does it drop?

Comment by Ice83085

Got Aeonaxx today at 4:02 am server time. Npc scan popped as soon as zoning into deepholm. Seems to spawn around this time on Venture co. according to a few others who caught on server. Was just outside entrance.

Comment by droodlet

PLEASE READ:Hi guys please dont make the misstakes I did.Camped Aeonaxx for a totall of 200+ hours, 130-140 of those were nonstop, 20-24 hours a day for 6 days. Found him 2013-01-28 , 07:00, Spawned North-west of templeFound 3 Blood seekers before Aeonaxx , 22 Jan 03:00 24 Jan 08:42 26 Jan 16:38 Was only fast enough to target one it was up for 5 Seconds.http://imageshack.us/f/255/aeonaxxspawn.jpg/http://imageshack.us/f/51/aeonaxxspawnmap.jpg/IMPORTANT:I did NOT see the drake or kill the drake, I was tabbed down watching youtube with max Noticed that Aeonaxx was being attacked because ¨Gladiatoriosa¨ addon yelled out that a Shaman used a bunch of CD'S I tabbed up ,THEN the NPCSCAN sound goes off dragon was pretty much dead ( THINK this is only for Full-screen which I used can't confirm) Happened to me aswell when I tabbed up and found a bat, thought it was just coincidence that he spawned just when I tab up.(also he despawns really fast I believe)Didnt see any Bats or Aeonaxx after restarts , dont think it makes a difference.I'm going to continue camping now that ive learned from my misstakes dont lose faith , at the end I was starting to think the game was bugged.

Comment by cacamuka

I randomly walked into deepholme and my NPCscan went off. I died the first time fighting him not knowing wtf to do, and another guy fought him and died too. I got a second chance and this time killed him and got my mount. I found him flying around the main tower

Comment by Whackyo

Killed him at 01/03/2013 8:27am Shattered Halls US server time at the north west spawn and he spawned a bit lower than the Stonecore ledge. Only took me 5 minutes of camping as well :D

hope this helpes! gonna enjoy my new mount :DDD

Comment by AkaraBWR

In cata I had camped and killed aeonaxx on two different characters. (This was before account-wide mounts was announced).

The information that I've gathered is this:

-The spawn timer seems to be between 5 and 20 or so hours.-He shares a spawn with Bloodseeker, much like vyragosa did with TLPD.-He is friendly at first. You must fly up to him and right click on him to 'mount' and then he turns hostile and begins flying around deepholm. At that time you can attack him and kill him.-During the fight he spawns adds that you can either kill or just ignore. If you are a lower level, I suggest killing them to avoid the extra damage.

I've made a video guide going into more detail on aeonaxx. I even fly around and show you the approximate elevation you should expect to find him, on each spawn location. I also go over a couple other things, if you would like to check it out the link is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Gz4bps5bvg

Comment by Amarnna

Just took Aeonaxx down on Area 52 at roughly 1pm MTN time. Spawned at the NW spawn point. Ridiculously easy kill now. Still hard to find though. Waited for roughly 22 out of 24 hours a day for 4 days straight. This is the only time in that 4 days that Aeonaxx spawned. Given the nature of mob, there is no way to pinpoint when the drake will appear. It's completely RNG based and can take more then a week to spawn or less then 6 hours. Shares a spawn with other rares in the area. Spawns at roughly Stonecore height. Good luck!

Comment by GenericDragon

Just picked him up today at 7:21 AM server time; Moon Guard US. He was flying around the southern most spawn point.

Funny story (just like ALL of my rare mounts...); I was farming herbs in Deepholm today, leveling my herbalism. I remembered that this guy spawns here, so I kept an eye out while I was farming. I didn't see anything, but I wasn't really looking for him anyways so I figured, "well maybe next time".

So, once I hit 500 Herbalism like I wanted too, I decided to do a few speed-runs in Stonecore normal for the drake that drops there. In and out, in and out, five times before I decided that I'm finished for now and I'd come back later to see if the drake would be kind to me.

Well, right after I stepped out of the portal, my NPC scanner goes nuts and I look to see what it is, and it's Aeonaxx! I begin to shake really hard, wondering how my luck is this retardedly good, and I get on my onyx serpent and fly around looking for him. I lost the target once because I flew too far, and backtracked to the other spawn point. I figured I'd probably missed him, as there were a couple of other higher levels out there at the time.

Nope! All mine! So happy.

Comment by Dysorder

Now that Cross Realm Zones are here I have seen him glitch out twice. Basically I will fly over him and he will pop on my npc_scan. I can target him but when I fly close he will despawn. Fly away and he will show up again.

The first time it happened I asked in general chat if anyone was able to see him. Even had someone fly up to me where I COULD see and target him and they could not. There was no Alliance in the area on my server so I checked horde, One of my guild mates happened to be over there questing and I had him ask general- two other server members were there as well. Same thing. We saw him but other servers could not.

This leads me to believe he was spawned on Bronzebeard, and when we got close we were yanked to a different realm.

Second time this happened I opened a ticket about it. "working as intended" .....Alright. -.-

Hopefully this will be fixed because I died a little inside with every passing second I could not interact with him.

Edited for bad spelling

my npcscan has gone off 3 times! camping for him around a month . about 6 hrs per day or more! but i have only seen him once! the other two times i almost instanly tried to find him but he was nowhere! couldnt see or target him! why does this happen? does it matter that i havent completed the quests in deepholm?

Comment by Enstevdude

This battle is reasonably easy as a lvl 90 and takes place on the back of the mob where you must fight whelps and burn down the health, after he/she dies you should be awarded with a lovely new mount. Bring potions just in case though.

Comment by snippyk

ach :( i farm him a few days , once ped day my mom want something for 5 mins and when i come back my npc skan was on. and i saw another player killing him :( EU-Dentarg

NEVER GO AFK !

Comment by simmkah

Just wanted to mention that one can mount and fight him in druid forms, I was a bit afraid of being dismounted or something, but there was no trouble mounting him in flight form, shapeshift out and in to moonkin form to kill the dragon.

I found that the NW spawn points are best as you can straddle two at once and face the NE so you are watching three

Hello Rare catchers and mount collectors! this post is insanely recent compared to others, this, was in the Pandaria BETA. i had recently made a Pandaren rogue at level 90 to test what it was like and how it worked. I grabbed some professions, mining being one of them. I was of mining level 500 when i decided to start farming in Deepholm, i stepped through the portal and waited on the loading screen. I mounted one of my drakes and went flying through the door, and there he was! I never expected him to be there, he wasn't even on my list of priorities! I was extremely exited, seeing how on my other toons i have been camping for him for months with no luck. I hoped on him, gladly no one else was there at the time. he was LITERALLY RIGHT outside of the door. i don't have coordinates, but once you are at the door of the temple, note that as another spawn point. he was spiraling upward on one of the rocky carved pillars. I hopped on him, my hands shaking and my mind racing. Eventually i had downed him and had gotten the drake, but a month after that the BETA had stopped and i lost everything i had gotten over the BETA time period, so i'm out camping again.Good luck! I hope this helped you!

Some important information:

1.) Exiting the Aeonaxx vehicle causes him to despawn. For good.

2.) Killing Aeonaxx with a friend near so he/she can get loot does NOT work.

3.) I've gotten this guy 4 times in the last week :) That's how I was able to test this stuff. Literally nothing left for me to do with him.

Comment by Volleynova

I was actually very furious to discover that Aeonaxx was a part of the Blood Seeker spawn timing.

Talk about a complete waste of my time. Combined with Cross-Realm Zones, this mount is almost completely by chance.

Comment by palashb

Days ago the npcscan started to scream, its was Aeonaxx but a lvl82 druid got him first. Sad fact: the lvl82 just made Aeonaxx despawn and got ejected in an parachute fall! No mount for the druid.Facts what we may know:Blood seeker or Aeonaxx spawn time is 6-22 hours.Blood seeker despawn few seconds later.If you are going to farm quest please be lvl85+.Got yourself the addon npcscan.Reset form realms will not affect the spawn time.Blood seeker id is 3868.Buy all flying speeds.Find Aeonaxx is just one step, you must be the first to reach it, with cross realm issu even low pop realm you can find a lot of campers.Do not farm plants and stuff, i lost my only Aeonaxx so far by 2 seconds because i was not in the right farming place.Just burn Aeonaxx if the fight starts.IMPORTANT NOTE 1: go to System>>sound: enable Sound in Background option and disable ambient sound, turn off music and master wow volume at 100% , may cause heart atack when npcscan go on, but is the best option if you are on alt+tab.IMPORTANTE NOTE 2: use the windowed game option.Good luck.

3rd day hardcore camping on EU realmsCamped from evening till morning Sunday-Monday2200-0611Killed him at 06am at the south east single spawn point, while patrolling towards the worm area. Not sure if related but I had killed the giant rare 5 mins ago.Died very fast, 7 secs on lvl 90 frost dk.He was pretty high,way below the ring Xariona patrols though, a bit higher than the dungeon entrance in the zone.Uploaded images on here http://postimg.org/gallery/3i4eppgh0/568e92a4/when he dies, he gives you a parachute buff, it's very slow way to the ground where he is dead,i imagine on high pop pvp servers you could be griefed to be unable to loot him- insta gank.Good luck campers

PSAlso met two bots in the same time-frame I camped.They position them between the twin spawn points, one south and one north and mid-air, I engaged one with frost spells, he landed and started acting weird, I kept attacking from a rock which could not be accessed from the ground.Kept attacking for 11 mins as a lvl 90 dk, couldn't kill a lvl 100 rogue, got him to 70% and then the owner came back, I reported to hacks@blizzard.com with a video I provided, and a in-game ticket.It seems the fair-way prevailed and the bots didn't get what they wanted.Peace out.

Can someone give us the time of his respawn ?

Comment by Reddervish

KIlled him at 43,59 at 8:20pm edt on Shu'halo.

I spent 3-4 hours a day, daily for about 3 months earlier this year with no success while doing the quests and rep grind in Deepholm. For several days now I've popped into Deepholm for a few minutes. Tonight I logged in on my laptop while I was eating dinner and was camping him between the 2 southernmost spawn points.

I had the macro posted here bound to a key, and I'd tap it about once a minute. Got lucky after about an hour. There were 2 other players camping him north of where he spawned.

June 1, 2017. It's been about 133 hours now over the course of a week. Used my free 100 boost from Legion to make a toon on a low pop PVP/RP realm. Camping the NW points and flying to the other side every 15-45 mins. I'm disabled and in bed a lot anyway, so I finally decided to commit to this camp. The first rare I camped was Loque'nahak back in Wrath on my first toon. Never thought it would spawn. Must be removed from the game...I've seen him 4 times and since, have most the hunter rare spawns, including all from Cata. So, I know I will get Aeonaxx eventually. I have the Insane title, so I have patience, lol. I just wanted to wait for less competition. Anger issues, haha. So, here I sit on my Red Armored Dragonhawk so any fellow campers know I mean biz! I have seen Blood Seeker 2x. Once right in front of me. It was so tiny, but not killable. It was there for almost 10 secs! I read it was only up for 3 secs, else I'd have flown to the pillar and tried to tame. Darn! So, of course, I take a 6hr break and go find other rares, eat, shower, etc. I have not sacrificed eating, bathing and getting out. If I do, I get sick, so I prepared myself to lose it to someone while afk. My Silverdragon log shows him 5 days ago, but not the engaged one, so it may have been a mount. Terborus I saw once, but no other rares down here have popped that I've seen. I'd say maybe a dozen ppl have popped in but go away after a bit. Some wish me luck, others have tried to one shot me. I sure hope he spawns for me soon, I miss my main.

June 2. Blood Seeker spawns on me again, but this time only for 5 secs!

June 4. Blood Seeker again, doh! So I decided to go look for a Mysterious Camel Figurine and found one on the platform in the water all the way south! Got My title and mount. Only 13 more to 250! Wow, that was so unexpected. I'm a happy camper :)

Comment by Jonnyne

There is a discord group that is being built up to help people work together to get the mount from this NPC.

Comment by Zapheiros

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned in past comments - but after looting changes in a patch some time ago, you can group loot this mount - so you can camp this mount with others. In order to group loot, you must be in the party BEFORE someone mounts it - anyone invited post mounting will not be eligible to loot the mount. Once one person mounts it (stay calm, be careful not to one shot it) - every one should gather in one spot so the rider can kill it near everyone. There are a few spots Aeonaxx will drop close to the ground, one being near the Temple of Earth entrance or near Deathwing's Fall. If everyone groups together in one spot, the rider can kill Aeonaxx when he is close to the party.
